A standoff between a barricaded man and Broward County sheriff`s deputies was into its second hour Friday night as officers surrounded a house trailer in the Silver Oaks mobile home park near Davie, police said.

Sheriff`s Office special weapons and tactical units were sent to the 3100 block of Southwest 60th Terrace just after 8 p.m., and some residents of nearby homes were evacuated, police said.

Information on why the man was being sought by police, whether he was armed, or what prompted the standoff was not being released by the Sheriff`s Office.

Police had cordoned off a section of the unincorporated neighborhood by 8:30 to keep traffic off the street and people away from the surrounded home.
